Hello, I'm new to this whole audio thing but I just couldn't stand the Realtek audio on my mainboard. I listen to music for 4+ hours most days and game just as long as well (I have no life ). After being spoiled by a SB Titanium I had on an old build I sold, I just had to move back to a dedicated sound card and went all out. Enter my ZXR. After using it for a few days, it sounds like heaven compared to what I was using except that it's sharp and bright. After listening for an hour, my ears sting slightly and have a ring which goes away after a few minutes. Would changing out the op amps make a difference. If so, what would you recommend for the I/V and output buffers. What's the difference between the them? Cost is not a limitation to what I'm willing to buy but I want to be able to put the shield back on it.
Thanks for your help and support!
EDIT: After looking around, I heard that replacing the 2x JRC2114D's on the I/V circuit with LME47920's and putting a MUSE02 on the line buffers would do the trick but the MUSE02 doesn't seem compatible with the ZXR line output (it uses a mono op amp and the muse is a dual). Is there a muse02 that's in a mono configuration?
